Future Structure of Irish Women's Soccer

In the past the Women's
Football Association of Ireland - WFAI - was run on a voluntary basis
depending entirely upon the goodwill of soccer enthusiasts and without
any full-time support. The WFAI has adopted the objective of integrating
fully into current FAI structures. The exiting Technical Development unit
will be used to smooth this integration.

An vital piece of the new
structure will be the establishment of a number of full-time roles to
provide support for the growth and development at local, provincial and
national level. There now exists four coordinators at provincial level
whose roles are to aid in communication and improve administration for
all elements in Irish women's soccer.

The FAI is appointing a
minimum of four Women's Development Officers to give significant impetus
to the Women's Football Development Strategy. Each of these officers will
be dedicated to planning, developing and implementing the existing FAI
grassroots plan with particular emphasis on girl's and women's soccer.
